First and foremost I’m a businessman. My first goal is to attract the largest possible audience so I can charge confiscatory ad rates. I happen to have great entertainment skills, but that enables me to sell airtime. -- Rush Limbaugh

Still, that's the beauty of an advertising-supported, free-market business. Lowry Mays, founder of Clear Channel, said it best in this 2003 Fortune article:

"We're not in the business of providing news and information. We're not in the business of providing well-researched music. We're simply in the business of selling our customers products."

And I have no problem with the man doing that. He's making a killing and I say more power to him. He's found his groove.

Having said that, I'm not going to live and die by his every word like some demented sycophant who doesn't realize that the man is doing nothing more than running a successful business.
